Roger and Me is a great movie. It is refreshing to see a different point of view for a change. Of course a factory has the right to close down, that wasn't the point. Rather, it illustrates actions have consequences. Very telling and foeshadowing. Look at things now.
Where did you hear that the claims were overexaggerated? Source please. Also, one could also claim that the "claims" about Iraq are overexaggerated. Or the "claims" about the terrorist threat are over exaggerated.
Nice try at a little attempt to interject politics in an entertainment thread. If you really want to discuss it, let's chat over in the Politics thread and keep this one to movies ok? (*smiley face icon*)

If anything I would say your the one interjecting politics into the entertainment thread. Not liking a MM film is not a matter of politics, it is a matter of taste. I was responding to someone saying the F911 was not factually correct, and that this was change from previous films. I was simply stating that from what I heard, his older movies were not very honest either.
One thing I do believe is that no one should talk about MM movies in the entertainment thread, because they are not entertaining.
Also, for one talking about interjecting politics- you are the one talking about Iraq and terrorist threats.

Michael Moore is anything but a hometown hero.
"I think that the name brings up a lot of disdain," said Greg Nicholas, of the Flint Economic Growth Alliance.
Rhonda Britton and Fred Ross were two stars of Moore's 1989 documentary, "Roger and Me," the story of General Motors layoffs of 30,000 Flint workers.
Ross, a sheriffs deputy, was shown throughout the movie evicting residents. Moore's movie gave the impression the layoffs led to the evictions.
But Ross told us that was a lie. "They didn't have nothing to do with General Motors."
But did Michael Moore know that, we asked.
"Yeah he knew that," Ross said. "He had to. He talked to those people too."
Moore's movies suggests that Britton's eccentric money making scheme, selling rabbits for pets or meat, was also a result of hardships caused by the GM layoffs.
But Britton says the reason her husband stopped working for GM was because he died -- more than a decade before the movie was shot.
"He's a fraud and a cheapskate," Britton said.

I do agree with you on Lost in Translation. After the movie I was left wondering... is that it? What was the point of that? Another Sofia Coppola flick, The Virgin Suicides confused me too. She is either making crap, or this stuff is way over my head.
